20080228948 | COMMUNICATION NETWORK AND METHOD FOR STORING MESSAGE DATA IN A COMMUNICATION NETWORK - A communication network ( | 09-18-2008 |
20080281986 | Parameter adjusting device - A parameter adjusting device optimizes parameters using a genetic algorithm by using a plurality of processing devices. The plurality of processing devices is respectively configured to individually and simultaneously execute the genetic algorithm and to, a predetermined period prior each local search, be such that each processing device, in accordance with the genetic algorithm processing, based on predetermined numbers, send individuals of a genetic population to others of the plurality of processing devices and further configured to have a migration arrangement for receiving the predetermined numbers. | 11-13-2008 |
20090125639 | METHOD, APPARATUS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR RING NETWORK COMMUNICATION - Communication modules are coupled in a communication ring and are operable to send and receive data from peripheral devices. The modules are operable to send and receive data streams on paths of the ring, and each module is operable, responsive to receiving a predetermined initialization signal, to operate as a master for initially blocking data in the first path and initially sending a block signal to a neighboring module downstream in the second path. The modules are operable, responsive to receiving the block signal in one of the paths, to block data in that one of the paths, so that responsive to initialization of one of the modules as a master, the master and the neighboring module create an inactive virtual link therebetween in order to prevent data from propagating around the ring more than once. | 05-14-2009 |
20100262717 | OPTIMIZING ACCESS TO FEDERATION INFRASTRUCTURE-BASED RESOURCES - The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for optimizing access to federation infrastructure-based resources. Various different layers within a federation infrastructure can signal location change events indicating the hosting location and/or access location for a resource is to be optimized. In response to a location change event, redirection information for accessing the resource is updated within the federation infrastructure. The redirection information is used to redirect resource access requests to appropriately optimized locations within the federation infrastructure. Redirecting resource access requests reduces communication within the federation infrastructure. | 10-14-2010 |
20110040898 | FORCE PROTECTION SWITCHING METHOD IN ETHERNET RING NETWORK - Provided are a forced protection switching method and a forced protection switching clearing method in an Ethernet ring network. When an operator desires to block a port of a specific node for maintenance and repair, the operator gives a forced switching (FS) command to the specific node in order to block the port. When the operator desires to clear FS, the operator gives a clear command to the specific node in order to clear the blocked port. As a result, operation flexibility of the Ethernet ring network is provided. | 02-17-2011 |
20120023264 | DISTRIBUTED NODE NETWORK ADAPTED TO TOLERATE A GIVEN NUMBER OF NETWORK NODE BREAKDOWNS - A network having a plurality of electronic equipments and a plurality of network nodes is disclosed. The nodes are connected and form a reference ring, according to which ring the nodes are ordered by successive ranks. Each node is connected by a direct receiving connection to an upstream node and via a direct transmission connection to a downstream node. The network is adapted to tolerate a number of network node breakdowns, n being greater than 1. Each node is connected by a direct receiving connection to all of the other nodes placed, in the reference ring, up to: 2 ranks downstream and 1 rank upstream or 1 rank downstream and 2 ranks upstream if n is 2; n-1 ranks downstream and n-1 ranks upstream, if n is odd; or n-1 ranks downstream and n-2 ranks upstream, or n-2 ranks downstream and n-1 ranks upstream, if n is even and greater than 2. | 01-26-2012 |
20140115190 | RING-OF-CLUSTERS NETWORK TOPOLOGIES - In a ring-of-clusters network topology, groups of slave devices are accessed in parallel, such that the latency around the ring is proportional to the number of clusters and not proportional to the number of integrated circuits. The devices of a cluster share input and output ring segments such that packets arriving on the input segment are received and interpreted by all the devices in a cluster. In other embodiments, none, some or all but one slaves per cluster are asleep or otherwise disabled so that they do not input and interpret incoming packets. Regardless, in all embodiments, the slaves of a cluster cooperate, potentially under the controller's direction, to ensure that at most one of them is actively driving the output segment at any given time. The devices may be addressed through a device ID, a cluster ID, or a combination thereof. Embodiments of the invention are suited to exploit multi-chip module implementations and forms of vertical circuit stacking. | 04-24-2014 |
